In the face of the Demon Race, the four Ancestors decided to take the initiative and launch a surprise attack before the Demon Race gained a firm foothold in the Sacred Yin Province. Firstly, it would dampen the arrogance of the Demon Race, secondly, it would raise the morale of their side, and thirdly, it would test the depth of the Demon Race.
According to the information obtained in the past few days, the Demon Race had gathered an army of three million soldiers around the Blood Gate. In terms of numbers, the Demon Race was naturally smaller than the Human Race. However, according to the information, the Demon Race was still coming out of the Blood Gate. In other words, the Demon Race's army had yet to fully arrive in the Sacred Yin Province.
With so many people stationed together, the area of the Demon Race's encampment was naturally huge. Not only did it occupy the entire Sacred Yin Sect, but it even spread out for hundreds of miles in all directions. Looking from afar, the simple and crude appearance of the encampment was indeed astonishing.
Compared to the Sky River Continent, the Demon Race had come from afar, so they were naturally not as well-prepared as the Sky River Continent. Therefore, the plan of the four Ancestors was quickly finalized.
Ten Saints were selected from the Culmination and Soaring Sky encampments. Moreover, because this was the first confrontation with the Demon Race, the cultivators selected were all elites.
For example, in the Culmination encampment, after the ten Saints were finalized, Xiao Chen, Chen Yu, Emperor Qing, Chen Ling, Long Qing, Qin Shuirou, Fairy of a Hundred Flowers, Gu Lingyao, and others were all selected to participate in this battle.
Although they were young, their strength was not inferior to the experts of the older generation. It was not an exaggeration to say that no one below the Half-saint realm was a match for Xiao Chen and the others. Even in the face of a Half-saint, Xiao Chen and the others all had their own means to escape.
Moreover, it was especially so for Chen Yu and the Qing Emperor. Even the Saints were unable to determine exactly what level their strengths had risen to. However, some had guessed that Chen Yu and the Qing Emperor probably possessed the strength to kill Half-Saints.
To put it simply, only Saints could kill Xiao Chen and the others now. Even if a Half-saint could not defeat them, Xiao Chen and the others could definitely escape unscathed.
Therefore, even though Xiao Chen and the others were from the younger generation, their strength could already be considered as the backbone of the Human Clan.
With such strength, there was no way he could escape from this operation.
The four Old Ancestors had already said that this was the first battle, and they could only win. Even if it was a small victory, they absolutely could not lose. Because once they lost, the Human Race's fear of the Demon Race would be infinitely magnified. At that time, once the Demon Race launched an attack, the Human Race was likely to collapse without a fight.
Fully aware of the importance of this battle, the 20 Saints in charge of this battle did not dare to be the slightest bit careless. Almost all the people they had deployed were the most elite warriors in the two camps. They wanted to raise the morale of the Human Race and let all the Human Race warriors know that the Demon Race was not invincible.
They personally met with the Tianfeng Saint. The Tianfeng Saint would also participate in this battle as one of the 10 Saints in the ZhongTian camp.
In the Tianfeng Saint's residence, Xiao Chen, Chen Yu, and the Qing Emperor sat together in a circle. The Tianfeng Saint looked at the three of them. The Tianfeng Saint explained the entire plan to them. At the end, he said with a chuckle.
"This is the first battle between us and the Demon Race. Its significance is self-evident. The three of you must not let your guard down."
Having completely understood the significance of this battle, Xiao Chen and the others nodded slightly. Then, the Tianfeng Saint said with a smile, "Okay, go and prepare. We will leave tonight."
The purpose of this battle was to catch the Demon Race by surprise, so speed was the key. After leaving the Tianfeng Saint's residence, Xiao Chen returned to his residence. He called Chen Ling, Long Qing, and Qin Shuirou. Everyone made some preparations and then secretly left the ZhongTian camp.
In order not to be discovered by the Demon Clan in advance, the four hundred thousand practitioners from the two garrisons were divided into twenty small troops, and each small troop was led by a Saint.
This battle was to break up the whole into parts. Under the command of the Saints, the 20 small troops would fight on their own. They did not need to act as one, nor did they need to attack together. They would find an opportunity to attack and retreat when they had an advantage.
The troop that Xiao Chen and the others were in was led by the Tianfeng Saint. This was actually arranged by the Tianfeng Saint.
The entire troop had a total of 20,000 people. Without waiting for the other troops, the Tianfeng Saint directly led everyone out of the ZhongTian camp and rushed in the direction of the Demon Race's camp.
Everyone would fight on their own. As a result, the routes that the Saints chose were naturally different, and the places that they ultimately chose to attack were also different.
The route that the Tianfeng Saint chose was to cross the Thriving Thousand Mountain Range and then arrive at the southeast edge of the Demon Race's camp before launching an attack.
Due to the continuous expansion of the Demon Race's camp, the Saint Yin Sect had become the command center of the Demon Race. The Saints and Ancestors of the Demon Race were now living in the Saint Yin Sect.
With the Saint Yin Sect as the center, the encampments that spread out in all directions had already stretched for hundreds of miles. Therefore, it was not difficult to launch a sneak attack on the periphery. Of course, the Demon Race would definitely have Saints guarding the periphery of the encampments.
Traveling day and night, everyone moved very quickly and carefully, not daring to leave any traces behind.
Three days later, the troop that Xiao Chen and the others were in finally passed through the Thriving Thousand Mountain Range. They could already see the Demon Race's encampment from afar.
Xiao Chen and the others had already arrived at the encampment of the Demon Race, and the other troops had also arrived at their pre-determined attack positions.
They did not choose to attack during the day. Instead, they waited until night. The sky gradually darkened, and starlight shone on the ground. At this time, the Tianfeng Saint and the 20,000 Human Race cultivators who were hiding in the dark finally began to move.
The Tianfeng Saint changed his elegant appearance from before, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Everyone, the Demon Race has invaded, and this battle is inevitable. Today is our first battle with the Demon Race. In this battle, only victory is allowed. Kill!"
Following the Tianfeng Saint's furious roar, the 20,000 Human Race cultivators drew their weapons and raised the sharp blades in their hands as they shouted, "Kill!"
Accompanied by the battle cries, the Human Race martialists seemed to have descended from the sky and charged out of the darkness. The Demon Race, who had not been prepared at all, walked out of their tents in confusion after hearing the earth-shattering battle cries. However, what they saw was tens of thousands of Human Race martialists, who were brimming with killing intent, charging into their encampment.
